Subject: Call for Papers: Journal of Shakespeare and Appropriation
The Editors of _Borrowers and Lenders: The Journal of Shakespeare and
Appropriation_, a new, peer-reviewed, multi-media, online Shakespeare
journal, are delighted to announce the release of Issue 1.2 (Fall/Winter
2005), our first general issue, at www.borrowers.uga.edu.
This issue includes essays by Graham Holderness on scientific metaphors
of appropriation; Thomas Cartelli and Katherine Rowe on _The King is
Alive_; Daniel Gil on the visual grammar of sexuality in Orson Welles's
Shakespeare films; Alexander Huang on historicism, presentism, and a
Sino-Soviet _Much Ado About Nothing_, and Sarah Hatchuel on "The Gift or
Denial of Sight in Screen Adaptations of Shakespeare's _Macbeth_," among
others. Issue 1.2 also includes reviews of appropriations in performance
and recent critical books on Shakespeare and Appropriation.
Issue 2.1 (Spring 2006) will be a special issue, Shakespeare for
Children. We have extended the due date for issue 2.1 (special issue:
Shakespeare for Children) and welcome submissions as soon as possible.
Currently we solicit essays, book reviews, accounts of Appropriation in
Performance, essay-clusters, and new discoveries for upcoming general
and special issues. General issues appear in the Fall, and Special
issues in the Spring. Future special issues include Shakespeare for
Children (2006), Canadian Shakespeares (2007, guest-editor Daniel
Fischlin), and Shakespeare and Opera. We welcome suggestions for themes
for special issues or for essay-clusters (groups of two or more essays
on a related concern or text).
Contributors interested in writing for our guest-edited special issue,
Canadian Shakespeares, should contact the guest-editor, Daniel Fischlin,
at <This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.> with queries and should send completed essays
by December 31, 2006, to the guest-editor and general editors.
We also encourage submissions for our next general issue (2.2). We
accept submissions for general issues year-round, but recommend that
contributors interested in publishing in issue 2.2 send us their
manuscripts no later than July 31, 2006.
